Somerville: Davis, Porter, Inman, and Union Square Cannabis-Aware Days

Somerville is built around its squares, and a cannabis-aware day here usually picks one square as the anchor and lets the rest of the day branch from there. Davis, Porter, Inman, Union, plus a few smaller ones, each have their own small-evening shape. ## Davis Square, the Anchor Davis Square has been the long-running Somerville anchor, with the Somerville Theatre, the Burren, Diesel Cafe, and the Red Line stop all clustered tightly. A Davis Square evening that starts at a coffee shop and ends at a small show at the theatre or the Burren works as a complete plan without needing to branch. Massachusetts state law prohibits cannabis consumption in public spaces, including the Davis Square plazas. Adults 21+ should consume at a private rental or home before any walk over. ## Porter and Inman, the Slower Squares Porter Square, half a stop east on the Red Line, runs quieter than Davis but has its own restaurant and bookstore mix. Inman Square, between Porter and Central, is the food-and-bar-heavy small cluster that pulls a steady neighborhood crowd. A Porter-to-Inman walk via Beacon Street is a long but pleasant walking stretch. ## Union Square, the New Anchor Union Square got its Green Line extension in 2022, which has reshaped the evening pace there significantly. The brewery cluster, Bow Market's small-vendor structure, and the food-and-bar density along Somerville Avenue make Union Square one of the better walking-evening neighborhoods in the metro.
